Remarks

This new species resembles Perioculodes seohae Jo, 1990 from Yellow Sea of Korea in having 1) short dactyli of pereopods 3 and 4; 2) carpal lobes of gnathopods 1 and 2 extending far beyond posterior margin of propodus; and 3) outer plate of maxilliped reaching halfway along palp article 2. However, the new species is obviously distinguished from P. seohae Jo, 1990 by the combination of the following features ( P. seohae characters in parentheses): 1) rostrum is moderately flexed (vs. strongly deflexed); 2) gnathopods 1 and 2 carpi reduced, cryptic (vs. carpi about 0.2 times propodi); 3) gnathopods 1 and 2 with transverse palms (vs. oblique palms); 4) the dactyli of pereopods 3 and 4 are vestigial (vs. 0.25 times propodi); and 5) body length is 4.5–8.0 mm (vs. 2.0–4.0 mm).
